Volunteer Opportunities
Tutor/Mentor:
All volunteer tutor/mentors volunteer at least 2 hours
a week in one of our 3 A.C.E.S. schools. Volunteers
are matched with students depending on their strengths
and on the students' needs. Volunteers work with the
students throughout the school year and are encouraged
to participate in all of the A.C.E.S. activities.
Tutor/mentor opportunities exist Monday through
Thursday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. You do not have to be an
athlete to participate.
Guest Athlete/Professional Activity Leader:
A Guest Athlete/Professional Activity Leader visits
each of our A.C.E.S. classrooms once a month.
Professional and amateur athletes as well as sports
business professionals visit the schools and lead
activities that require students to think critically
and solve problems. The sports-themed activities are
designed around the skills and interests of the
athletes.
